lmao people think a16z opened a Tokyo office to invest in local startups. No silly, they want to take institutional yennies and invest them in US startups, and to introduce US startups to Japanese enterprise customers. Bennie meets with Takaichi, and an office is opened 3~ months later. What do you think the conversation was? "Ben please invest in local startups!!" of course not. Japan has never given a shit about local startups. Sanae-chan promised Ben-kun access to Japanese enterprises.
